Holiday decorating made easy

Your home is most likely not being featured in Better Homes and Garden’s holiday edition this year, so it doesn’t need to be perfectly decorated.  Less is more!  

Dedicate an afternoon to the task of decorating.  Unpack your holiday décor and consolidate it all in one space.  Sort it into like items or by rooms you intend to use them in.  Get rid of anything you aren’t going to put out this year.  If you aren’t using it this year, you probably won’t ever use it, so why continue to store it and lug it out of storage every year?

Get help with decorating.  Many hands make light work.  Get in the spirit by making a festive cocktail or hot beverages, turn on some holiday music, and get to it.

Carl W. Buehner said “People will forget the things you do, and people will forget the things you say. But people will never forget how you made them feel.” Your family and friends aren’t concerned with what your house looks like or whether you personally baked all the pies yourself, but they will remember the feelings they had when they spent time with you.  Treat yourself well this holiday season so you can have reserves to show those around you love.  Their greatest gift will be fond memories of you.
